Redmi and Poco absolutely love playing the rebranding game, and it definitely looks like it won’t stop anytime soon. Poco might be getting ready to rebrand yet another device – in this case, we’re talking about the Redmi Note 10Swhich was launched under that name in 2021.
It’s a little late to rename a device more than a year after it first surfaced, but that’s exactly what some newly surfaced FCC documents show is going to happen. Poco has requested FCC certification based on the previous one issued for the Redmi Note 10S as the two handsets are identical save for some minor variations.
As you can see in the screenshot above, the Redmi Note 10S (with the model number M2101K7BNY) was running MIUI 12 when it was certified, while the upcoming Poco model will launch with MIUI 13 on board – understandably, a year later. Furthermore, the Poco phone will share one RAM/storage version with its sibling (6/128GB), as well as two new ones, not seen on the Redmi: 4/64GB and 4/128GB. It will also be available in a new blue version.
The Redmi Note 10S sports a 6.43-inch 1080×2400 60 Hz AMOLED display, the MediaTek Helio G95 SoC at the helm and a 5000 mAh battery with support for 33 W fast charging. It comes with a quad camera system on board. the rear (64 MP main, 8 MP ultrawide, 2 MP macro, 2 MP depth) and a 13 MP selfie shooter in the front.

The upcoming Poco should have all those features too, and given the hardware here, we’re assuming it will be part of the C or M families of Poco devices. With the FCC certification out of the way, the official launch is probably just around the corner.
